USGS Aggregates Time Series Data by State, Type, and End Use

Construction aggregates 

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) defines the construction aggregates industry as those companies that mine and process crushed stone and (or) construction sand and gravel. Construction aggregates are an essential part of the construction industry and serve as an indicator of the strength of the industry. All 50 U.S. States produce construction aggregates. The USGS National Minerals Information Center (NMIC) collects construction aggregates data from producers that voluntarily complete canvass forms for the survey and estimates production data for nonrespondents based on the Mine Safety and Health Administration worker hours. In 2023, a total of 1,322 companies operating 3,531 quarries and 389 sales/distribution yards produced crushed stone and 3,100 companies operating 6,324 pits and 319 sales/distribution yards produced construction sand and gravel.

Data set 

This data set contains the following information on construction aggregates standardized to metric tons (t) and dollars per metric ton ($/t):

• Production (quantities sold or used)
• Total value
• Unit value
• Types of stone

This data set replaces the discrete construction aggregate tables that were included in the individual State chapters of the Minerals Yearbook Volume II—Area Reports: Domestic prior to 2014.
